South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust— A&E

Includes South Tyneside District Hospital, Sunderland Eye Infirmary, Sunderland Royal Hospital. Official monthly statistics through July 2026. NHS source.

In an emergency call 999. Unsure where to go? Call 111 or use 111.nhs.uk — for minor injuries, an urgent treatment centre is often faster than A&E. The figures on this page are monthly published NHS statistics, not live queue times — they indicate pressure, never your personal wait. Everything below describes July 2026— it is not tonight's wait.
